AS and A2 Level Course Outlines

The History Easter Revision course is organised as a "mix and match" course to allow students to choose a revision programme that matches their exact requirements. The most popular topics available on the many History specifications are listed below and students should select those most relevant for their course of study. If a topic you require is not listed then please contact the Course Director as it is often possible to arrange a more specific programme when necessary. In addition to the topics listed below, we can offer a wide range of other historical periods and study skills are also addressed. Answering document questions, developing a line of argument and constructing a convincing essay are some of the areas covered, as well as preparing a thorough revision timetable. Each module will last for one half-day session.

On your registration form, please specify the examining board, module code, title and any other relevant information. This will enable us to draw up an individual timetable for your modules.
